Failure of the Attempt to Settle the Con-
nelIsyille Coke Strike.
PTTsBURG, Pa, June 2.-All hope of
an early settlement of the coke strike
has disappeared. A conference of OPP
orators and strikers was held to-day,
but after a session of several hours the
meeting adjourned without arriving at
any agreement. Both sides were firm.
The operators took a decided stand for
arbitration, while the men insisted up
on the I23 per cent. advance. The sup
ply 0 fcoke is running low, and unless a
settlement Of the difficulty is effected
within a very short time, the result will
be disastrous TO the iron and steel
industries Of the United States
Nearly all the coke used in
the manufacture Of iron and
steel in the country comes from the Con
nel.svil.c district, and the result of the
sudden cutting off Of the supply can
readily be seen. There are fully 300

q. Reed was killed near here to-day by
a file of United States soldiers. Reed
was not over 30 years Of age. well built.
well educated, physically powerful and
q scion of one of the best families in
Alabama. He enlisted as a private
soldier in the United States army, and
Brown near the mouth of
the Rio Grande. Accompanied bv
COmrade named Williams he
deserted and crossed to MatamOras,
where he killed and robbed a rich Jew
eler named Block. He and his com
p.uiou were arrested and condemned
to death, but escaped. Reed went to
California and Arizona, killed a couple
Of men there, and finally drItted back to
San Antonio. where he was arrested on
a charge Of desertiOn ana turned over TO
the military This nation, for some rea-
son, wished to keep him, and the au-
thorities of MatamOras. where he s
under sentence of death for Block S
murder, wished to get hold of him
so they could shoot him. The
United States held hlm, however, and
yesterday Reed, under heavy guard, left
his prison for the hall where the mill
tary court sat. On the way he made a
desperate effort to escape. He paid no
attention TO the command to halt and
was fired upon. A bullet entered his
right side and he bounded into the air
and fell mOrtalIv wounded. IN death
bed confession, Reed admitted his iden-
tity with that Of the murderer Of Back,
which ne had, up to this time, strenu-
guSIE denied.

KNIGHTS ~ A BROTI.
Charges of Fraud and Corruption Freel,
ENChslnrrn-

Exchanged.
CHICAGO, H., June 2-At last nights
meeting of District Assembly No. "A, a
secret circular from Philadelphia was
read, officially notifying the Chicago
knights of the expulsion of District As
sembly No. 1876, and warning them
against receiving any travelling or trans
fer cards from that assembly. The
district was not expelled, such
action being unconstitutional. No
action was taken and the document
was very coldly received. Another and
an extremely interesting circular Is be
ing received by the secretaries of all the
local assemblies in this city and all over
the United States. 1t emanates from
District Assembly 1926 and is an APP
peal for assistance and revenge.
After reviewing the facts as above
stated from their standpoint, it charges
Master Workman Powderly and the
General Executive Board with criminal
incompetency and hints broadly at cor
ruption. Six specific violations of
the constitution are alleged. Bar
collusion with the manufacturers
and his report is characterized as false
in every respect He acted directly
against the men without holding any
consultation with them, they say, and
declared the strike off upon the false
pretext that the strike was against aman
who was Il member Ofthe order. In other
words, he deliberately sold them out,
they allege, and was sustained in his ac-
ton by the General Executive Board.
From every indication the appeal will
meet with hearty support from many
Chicago assemblies.

In spite of the Dominion Parliament the
Ne" Railroad VIII be Huiit.
Thoroughly scared by the attitude
OF the people, the Canadian Pacific
road has reduced freight rates from
Winnipeg west 10 per cent. The con
cesslOn, however, comes too late, as
the local government has prepared
plans and specifications tor building a
road to the boundary, and tenders
will be advertised Tor ct once. The
government has also repealed the act
permitting injunc.ions so that the
Dominion government could not stop
the work ii it dared. The feeling Is so
high that any interference would re-
suit in open rebellion. 1t i5 claimed
that if the act is disallowed by the
Dominion government the bonds Is
sued would be illegal NOtwithsUand.
ing this, several offers, one from New
York, have already been received to
float them. Little doubt remains that
the road will be built to connect with
the American system.
